This is pretty much my go to, great on pretty much anything, especially red meat and pork. What’s yours?

Hell most of the time I don't even salt or pepper my pork steaks anymore. Occasionally, I'll use the Desert Heat dry rub I got on sale.

Lately, simple seasoning for my steaks has been fresh ground black pepper and the coarse ground version of Lawry's garlic salt

Salt, pepper, thyme. Sitting on some thick pork chops right now. On the grill in a bit.
I like it to diffuse for hours, if not overnight.
Posted By: mathman Re: Good simple seasoning. - 11/22/22
On pork chops I like garden variety Tony Chachere's, Prudhomme's Meat Magic or Prudhomme's Pork and Veal Magic.

All I use i use on meat is kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Not a lot of either of those

Chicago steak seasoning on red meat. Lemon pepper and Cavender's Greek on chicken.
Posted By: ironbender Re: Good simple seasoning. - 11/22/22
I often use this on just about any/everything. Great on beef, chicken, pork, fish.
Filled an empty Fiesta fajita seasoning jar.

I can like Chachere's on about any meat. Another good one I've found for pork is Good [bleep]. It's a bit sweet; too sweet IMO for beef. For beef, I can like a Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Never seen it higz. I’m generally a S&P guy, especially on steaks. This one seems to be a good balance

That's been my preference for awhile now, but I used to like Perini Ranch rub for steaks (mixed at home). I still like store bought blackening seasoning for chicken and pork though.

I've tried a lot of stuff, and I am convinced all you need on meat is salt, pepper, and garlic.

A few years ago my wife and I took a trip to Chicago. She had lived there for a few years and said we had to stop at the Spice House. I thought what's so great about a spice store? Well she had to drag me out of there an hour later. That place is fantastic! Recently placed an order and one of the items I got was this Italian Steak Seasoning. Absolutely the best on steaks.

Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Juniper Berries
Rosemary
Scallions

Man, I’d give that a whirl.

A good simple doesn't need any seasoning except for a little salt and pepper. A seasoning is supposed to taste like seasoning; it doesn't need fancy-assed rubs, seasonings, or sauces. (At least that is what I have learned from the 'fire's expert conizers every time the subject arises.)

You statement is as clear as mud.

Never bought SPG.

Use a shaker of salt, pepper, and garlic.

I like Cavender's, it's just that some may need to be aware of it before diving in.
Posted By: morecowbell Re: Good simple seasoning. - 11/28/22
My go to seasoning on pork chicken and beef is Head Country All Purpose, it's made in Oklahoma, got hooked on it when I lived there, now I have it shipped to me. It's not overpowering, has mostly common ingredients I suspect. I buy it in these 7 pound tubs, that way I have plenty to give away too.

+1 more on Johnnys. New to me but solid all around crowd pleaser.

Salt Free Cavender's doesn't have the MSG, but I don't know if that blend tastes anything like the regular. I just bought the salt free stuff after reading about here.

I don't disagree completely, as I have gone more towards simple seasonings (salt and pepper) lately. However, a bit of corn starch or even flour can create an incredible crust on a steak. I haven't found any spices or salt that can create that crust.

1 vote here for Everglades Seasoning, great on BBQ'ed Chicken, pork and fish.

Got the recipe off the internet, I make the original one.
Posted By: Hogwild7 Re: Good simple seasoning. - 12/05/22
I use Tony Chacheres More Spice less salt or Cavendars or a combination of the two.

2 Tbsp table salt and a bottle of good-tasting drinking water is my favorite "simple" seasoning. Works damn great on chuck roast.

The flat pack with free shipping showed up last week. I grabbed a couple New York steaks on my way home from work this afternoon. Drizzled some EVOO and then hit the steaks aggressively with the seasoning. Grilled to medium rare. I was definitely impressed with the seasoning. I’ll be ordering more for sure
